VThe top edgey is'provided with a series of buttonholes 7 andthe left-handside edge is;g95 provided with aseries of buttonholes4 8, The oppositelend of the strip is yprovided with a series otbuttonsQ yparallel to the'vedge of the i strip, and another series of buttons l0 angu- -larly disposed with,respettotheedge ofthe :igt Y .il y

strip, having the top button common with the series of buttons 9.

The strip 1 is adapted to be placed about lthe hips of the wearer and fastened by engagement of the buttons 9 with the buttonholes 8. If a more snug fit of the strip is desired,the buttonholes are placed over the bing 11 as shown in Figure et, turned over at the bottom as in 12, are inserted in the openings between the bottom edges of theV strip 1 andthe lining 2.

vprovided with a plurality of buttonholes 18 formed in line with the series of buttonholes 1 -f8`on the body portion- 1, and the plurality ofV buttons 19 and 2O are sewed. on the othercnd fof-the webbing inline with the :series of buttons -9 Pand 10 respectively. This series of buttons 9 and 10 is adapted to-be fastened:

to the-buttonholes 8 `in the same, manner'ias the buttons 19 and -120 on the webbing are..

Y fastened to the buttonholes 18, when the at- ,tachmentl is burttonedfabout the wearer. The fband of elastic webbing is 'alsoqprovided with a pair of buttonholes 21 and 22-formed `in approximately a vertical line withthe arm pits ofthe wearer-so 'that they will fall on the opposite side seams of a pair of trousers.

The attachment is adapted to be buttoned Ato the inner portion :of an outer lgarment as sho-wn in Figure 7 through the agency of ybuttons-23, sewn around the inner face'of the ga-rment adapted to engage the buttonholes 7 worked in fthe top of the strip 1. The'elastic webbing 11 is preferably worn about the hips of the wearer with the bottom Yapproximately in line with the crotch. rllhe'rowof buttons 23,are positioned on the inside: of` the outer garment to allow the webbing to hang at this :point according to the width of the strip 1. It is preferred thatthe strip be of such a f width that the lattachment may -be positioned A, approximately'about the waist of the wearer, `so that-beside p'recluding the entrance of cold,

:the garment will serve to lend additional protectionlto vthe abdominal :portion of the wearers anatomy.

Itis manifest that `the bottom of the garment by reason of `the elasticity of the webbing, will iitA-snuglyubelow the hips ofthe wearer at the crotch without bindino' his limbs, and conform at all times to his figure and even in occasion of strenuous activity not hinder their use.

To insure a snug fit of the garment between the limbs of the wearer, a strap 24 having a plurality of buttonholes 25 and 26 formed on one end, and a series of buttonholes 27 worked in the other end may be fastened to the front and back portions of the garment. A plurality'of but-tons 2S and 29 are sewed on the back portion of the strip 1 as shown in `ldigure 1 adapted to receive the buttonholes 25and 26. The .buttonholes 27 are adapted to be buttoned over the same series of buttons 9and O'assecure the Vfront edges kof the nnion garment.

The 'strap .24 is preferably made of elastic material so that it will Iin no way bind the wearer and allows .adjustmentover a range ofthe distance between the buttonholes 25 and 26, inasmuch that in place ofthe two buttonholesl being fixed over the buttons 28 and 29,' the butt-onhole 25 may be fined over the button. I2.9 or the button-.hole 26 fastened over the :button 28, so that the stripfhangs :loosely or a'tighter adjustment Y:is aiforded. V.rlhezsti-fap 2l can be further .adjusted by :changing the position ofthe buttonholes 27 as :shown in Figure `6, over `'the buttons 9, i'l-Y buttons .'(not shown) may be sewn on the side,

seams of the trousers tol 'engage the button- Vholesr21 and 22 in the webbing, -so that when the strap 24 .is worn with the garment, a tight fit is falso insured at the sides, although it is manifest that itis not necessary .to use either the V'strap 124 yor attachv .the lbuttons to `the sides 'of the trousers unless a more secure t is desired. V v

lt is .manifest that this invention is in nowise restricted xto the use of buttons, as any other v.conventional ztype of fastening aneans, suchas hooks .and eyes, or any suitable type ofsnap buttons may be used and in the same manner the Vparticular method of :attaching the webbing .to the strip 1,.,or different -for- 1.

mation of :the strip 1 may beemployed. p

` The strlip 1 may be -turnedover at .the top as shown in Figure 3, and the bottom yedges turned in :and sewn Lto the inserted ledges of the webbing, thereby-dispensing with the use .of lthe lining 2 and tapes 13 and 14, or the strip 1 `may be turned overat the top in the salmev amanner andthe lining .2 interposed 'between .the folded strip sandthe vends of the ywebbing sewn at kthe bottom with onlyl the tapel'andthe bottom edge ofthe inner portion of the strip 1 turned in to afford a 'inishediedge on -the inside.

To properly vfit vvcorpulent persons, the `strip lmay be cut differently to vconform with increased abdominal proportions.k The body is cutso that the width in the middle is greater lthanl that at the ends, as shown in Figure 2, and the webbing joined in the same manner. lIt is apparent that this construction may be variedto any desired degree to suit the requirements of thevarious anatomical peculiarities of diierent persons.

There is accomplished by this invention an `attachment for uniting an outer garment to trousers, buttoned approximatelyabout the waistline of the outer garment and fitted about the trousers slightlybelow the hips of the wearer, that will not bind the limbs of the person, but work to exclude` the penetration of cold, and lend additional protection kto the abdominal portions.
